I have a 2026 Kia EV 9 light long range. Third row is very comfortable. 350 miles of range. NACS charge port and it charges very quickly at Tesla Superchargers. The cargo area is a bit small with the third row up.

I do rideshare with this car and won't go back to gasoline.
Let the buyer be ware. I have purchased five vehicles in the past year for my Turo business. I do my basic maintenance. The trick is to do your research. It is not just the make and model, it is which engine and drive train in the vehicle. Those items are researchable.

Also, check hoses and belts, look under the parking spot for oil leaks. Dealers are in the profit business; the consumer needs to be in the research business.

2019 Ford Fusion
2020 VW Jetta GLI
2022 Mitsu MIrage
2021 VW ID.4
2009 Nissan Frontier

No issues with careful maintenance.
This may be an escalating problem but not exactly new. My son worked for Acadian while in med school and he spent most of his hours on duty in Hammond- Natalbany corridor running gunshots and knifings to North Oaks.
As a rideshare driver who puts 5000 miles a month in his car, speeders rely of the rest of us who drive consistently and keep a safe distance between vehicles. I can't count how many F150s, Chargers, and Mustangs would be smashed if I went a little faster than they expect when darting between lanes above 15 mph over the limit.
As a rideshare driver, I ask riders for musical suggestions. The vilest and crudest requests come from 16 year old girls.

You don't understand satire?
There is no Africa, other than the continent. Many of the countries are not even nation states as we in the West think of countries. Consider Sudan which has been dealing with civil war- the North (islamic) and the South which is more tribal. Even the tribes in the South do not get along with each other.

Stop paying $900 monthly on your Mercedes-Benz and $200 steak dinners and put some funds away!

re: Uber/Lyft question

I have driven for three years, Here's my take:

1) Riders modifying the route or adding a stop
2) Rider needing assistance- walker/ wheelchair or other. I have had people who took fifteen minutes to exit the car and get safely to their destination
3) Request comes in mid-ride and Uber?Lyft is quoting the time from the end of the ride-in-progress
4) Some driver using the restroom or fueling-- I don't do that but i've heard.

I worked at CCC when they opened the Cabana room next to the pool. Great place. Lots of kids.
Pickup truck drivers cause the most accidents on the I-12 corridor.
I want to see one of these Waymos cross Bourbon on a Saturday night.

You do get sarcasm, right?
